Nicolas Jackson: Arsenal’s Unexpected Striker Target

Arsenal FC

Finding a prolific goal scorer has been the repeated leitmotif during the transfer windows of the past two years; Now, one of the transfer topics is related to Nicolas Jackson. That is right in while on very rare occasions, glimpses of attacking brilliance may have appeared, the big issue is. That there may not have ever really been a ruthless finisher who could put the ball into the spotlight consistently. Considering this angle, let us delve into the very positive and negative aspects of the player. And gauge the kind of impact he might have at the Emirates.

Profile that has cast the Spell: Nicolas Jackson

At the time of his arrival at Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson had a certain kind of fanfare. After having impressed at Villarreal in La Liga. He had pace and strength and could run obstacles and strive for a goal. Thus fitting a somewhat different profile from the existing ‘Chelsea’ front-line.

He has to stretch back from the defense for a stretch of play and create space for his teammates. I am the kind of person who puts in loads of work. Hard during training sessions, pressing hard while others sit on their faeces, doing no pressing up front. At least, that should be the mindset.

And his finishing is sometimes faulty; his physique is there to torment defenders on some occasions. But he is lacking composure and decision-making. Getting those attributes will make him a world-class center forward.

What Kind of Striker Does Arsenal Need?

Jesus, a player who can anchor play hardly puts in a full shift. Opposite him stands another line, more goal-centered but lacking. Only a few strengths are shared by the two, but neither has been able to come up. With a long-term solution to Arsenal’s goal drought.

That said, Jackson needs to keep developing. Some would argue Arteta’s best weapon is player development. So Jackson would be expected to work on his finishing and decision-making. If he can capitalize on his potential, he could be a real weapon for Arteta’s Arsenal.

The Possible Pitfalls: Why a Deal Attempt Might Be Hampered

Though there are basketfuls of gains, something might come in the way of a move for Nicolas Jackson. First, maybe Chelsea would seldom want to part with a player. They spent all that money to acquire barely a season ago. Nicolas Jackson’s inconsistency might raise some doubts about. Arsenal could indeed shell out a hefty chunk of change on someone still developing. 

Another stumbling block for the move could arise from the wages of Nicolas Jackson. Having been at Chelsea, he is probably pocketing quite a lot.

The Verdict: Could Nicolas Jackson Be the Answer?

The acquisition of Nicolas Jackson could be quite an intriguing option for Arsenal. He is still far from finished; he has attributes that fit Arsenal, and the potential beyond doubt. Should Mikel Arteta buy into the idea of helping nurture Nicolas Jackson into a consistently scoring goal??

Conclusion

General risks could arise in the course of an agreement. Arsenal would perhaps have to consider the irregularities of the player. An offer would certainly cause a curious development during the summer transfer window. As so many details play a role in that decision. It really will be something if we get to see Nicolas Jackson don red and white for Arsenal next season.
